Manufacturer's Description:
This year Brian Grubb and Scott Byerly continued to push the boundaries of wakeskating by throwing down legit kickflips, bennihanas to fakie and building transfer railslides that wakeboarders wouldn't even hit. For 2003 Brian and Scott created a new style of skate. They redesigned their proven concave deck and kicktail for extra board control and ollie power, and added a new Jib base material. This material is torsionally stronger and more durable for the demands of skating in your own water park. All of our wakeskates come stock with our EVA deck and a skate designed 1.3" disorder fin. This fin has a longer running length, a shallow overall depth, strong edge hold and still releases quickly for technical tricks.

I prefer Cassette decks ALOT more. This deck is fun, but uncomfortable. It pops good, and the three stage rocker keeps the board on your feet. It doesn't seem as smooth in rough water as wood decks. The foam griptape is no good, my feet were slipping all over the place. If you are worried about durability in a wood skate, buy two instead of putting down $300 for this.

I really love this board. It rides higher in the water than the cassettes do so it is easier for me to ollie. I get more pop going w2w with this board and the channel allows me to ride it finless and still have a little grip. Plus the foam makes it easier to try tricks that I would hate to grip taped on.

Concave was to narrow, and there was little pop for ollies, bubbles under EVA top

This a good deck, but not what I was looking for. There was to much flex in the board when you drove down your rear foot for ollies. The stock fins are way to big, I put some .7" Belmonts on it and the ride was great. The rail was a little to sharp for lip tricks and would hang up. This is a great w2w board but not the best all around.
